I teared up reading this. Something is very real about a letter, I hate hate hate my handwriting, my hands shake so I dont' have my girly writing I used to...but I feel the need to write on my layouts as it is my handwriting and my children will know it to me that makes things more special...a hand written note :) Lovely layout!
Your description really touched me. This is so special. I do love this page. And I agree. A snail mail letter is a real treat. Beautifully scrapped. I love the little letter embellie you made with the hearts floating out. I can just feel the love!
BEAUTIFUL LO Jen!!! Your design is PERFECT and I love all your little details such as the tiny little envelope, the overlay and the LOVELY grouping of flowers....It's all AMAZING!!!
How wonderful Jen, your lo is so lovely. Technology is great, so you are able to keep in contact but, there is nothing like getting a letter in the mail :)
Well, this lo makes me happy and sad at the same time....happy to enjoy its beautiful design and happy to think about you receiving those precious letters....but sad about how much you must miss your daughter. This is such a special page, Jen. I love reading your description and list of products because I can see how carefully you think about every element and detail, which makes your lo's meaningful and heartfelt. The overlays look wonderful! Especially love your creative title :) very sweet pic of Sabrina...and it really stands out with that gorgeous overlay frame. My fave element here is the tiny envelope with ticket on wings with floating hearts.....LOVE that! LOVE EVERYTHING, Jen!
I can just imagine what you are feeling, Jen! I am so glad that Sabrina brightens your day with these wonderful little surprises. She is such a beautiful and thougthful young lady. Spectacular layout; love that you've scrapped these treasures!
I have been wanting to see a layout with this page.. Thanks for the ideas. Great layout and states a truth. Snail mail is great..My kids still get very excited if they get an actual paper letter. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful lo. I just love the story of your daughter. Sabrina is gorgeous. I can feel through your words how proud you are of her and how much you love her.
Journaling "Sabrina has lived in Japan for 3 years now teaching English. We connect through emails,text messages, phone calls and Skype. But there is something so real,solid & permanent in snail mail. When we get a letter it's like a piece of her - her handwriting, her paper choice and the stamps she picked. We read and reread them. I knew I wanted to do a layout about our daughter's letters & our feelings about LOVE FROM JAPAN. " April 2010
